The trail/not the trail.

It surprises me I've only made 846 posts. I would have thought at least a thousand.

Shall I make it a thousand?


.

From an everyday state of mind, trails woo me. A path through chaos, aligning everything around its single axis—that intoxicating pairing of mystery and certainty. On the trail, nothing could be worse! I can only get my kicks stepping back into disorder.

I have to laugh at the constant contradiction of it all. Any dichotomous parsing of reality leads to irony and silliness. It's the most natural phenomenon in the world: just as I hide from the roads on a trail, I hide from a trail in the bushes.

There's pleasure in the pathless woods.
